Which of these donation extensions best integrate with EasySocial?
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/donations

JGive seems to be the only one already integrates with Easysocial, but I am guessing that the others that already integrate with Jomsocial could be easily customized to integrate with Easysocial?

Thank you for any thoughts or suggestions! Our online nonprofit university needs to commit to a donation system.
I have never personally tried this but I do think that jGive integrates with EasySocial

Are there any shopping carts that integrate with EasySocial? (to avoid the customer from having to enter all their contact information twice?)

thank you

@Ken

jGive works out of the box with EasySocial and all templates except any running with Bootstrap 3 (as jGive default is Bootstrap 2.3 at the moment), when you need to install the free version of NoNumber Replacer component as well. There is a blog on the Techjoomla website explaining how to configure NoNumber to convert BS2.3 to BS3 for jGive and support will always be there in case of any display adjustments that are required.

Overall it is by far the best Donation/Campaign component at this point in time and has every feature you should need.

Quick2Cart (also from Techjoomla) integrates with EasySocial and is rapidly developing into a fully featured ecommerce solution as an alternative to (for example) MijoShop, which has more features but does not integrate with EasySocial at the moment.

@Richard et. al. also JReviews now supports Quick2Cart as well so you can use it as a CCK for your eCommerce or extend your existing use of JReviews to enable purchases....

@Ken, I love the "givebacks" they offer and have used it to "amp up" the participation rates of campaign sponsors by having them offer-up a "gift" to donors contributing at certain dollar amounts. It offers the sponsor an area for their store/service to be nicely featured. JGive is very nicely integrated with ES and as a company are committed to ES so for me it's a safe bet.

I'm not delighted with the way they handle images but to be honest have been too busy in other areas to focus feedback in this area. I bet someone smarter than me could take a look at what they're doing with images (how they scale in different views) and show 'em how to make a solid component glisten like ES does.

I am however pleased that Techjoomla appears to have been consolidating their code base, making iterative improvements, this will pick up steam over time as they continue in this direction including handling of Fields and UI (i.e. their now frequently appearing 'pin' layout).

I have seen they are responsive to tickets sent via the ticket system. Seems to have improved from fair (last year) to good, maybe very good now.
